UNIVERSITY OF
RICHMOND, Va.- The Richmond Spider men's soccer team was blanked by the no.
13 ranked Charlotte 49ers 2-0 on Sunday at Robins Stadium.

"Considering Charlotte was a team that went to the national
championship last year, I was pleased with the momentum of our team," said head
coach Leigh Cowlishaw.

The first half of play was a defense battle until the 44th
minute of play when Charlotte's Donnie Smith hit the lower right of the goal on
a pass from teammate Anthony Perez. The
score remained 1-0 until the 85th minute of play when Giuseppe Gentile netted a
security goal for the 49ers.
